Scored: Nketiah (42); Willock (44); Pepe (46)
The lack of Leicester last weekend made things worse. Before this match, the Arsenal Arteta version still received many positive reviews from experts. However, the performance in the special loss to Leicester in the second half made people look at them with different eyes. The affordable Arsenal now isn’t much different than before.

In fact, “The Gunners” clearly had a lot of positive changes. However, in the harsh world of soccer, all contributions from a coach or player can be lost after a single loss. Against such a background, Arsenal must have a jubilant victory over Dundalk in the 2020/21 Europa League tonight for the team to get back on the right track.
But this weekend Arsenal must also march towards Old Trafford’s former rival MU, so Arsenal cannot be too energetic, especially when Dundalk is too weak. But if there is not a good result against Dundalk, then Arsenal will not be released.

| Arsenal started with a 4-3-3 chart |
Compared to the 0-1 loss to Leicester at home a few days ago, coach Arteta replaced most of the starting lineup, leaving only Captain Xhaka. However, no one dares to say that Nicolas Pepe, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Kolasinac or Nketiah are “strategic reserves” because they play in this game or leave the other game sometimes related to the manager’s strategic intentions. not just for experience.
The first chance of the match unexpectedly belonged to the little visitors of the Republic of Ireland when McEleney tried his luck with a thunder kick from close range 30 meters, forcing goalkeeper Runarsson (who recently joined Arsenal this season). show talent.
In the 11th minute, right-back Cedric Soares fired a live ball near the penalty area, but the ball went flying. In general, Arsenal completely dominated the game and had a lot of ball, but Dundalk’s guests have concentrated most of the team that is entrenched in the home field, so it is not easy for the Gunners to be able to shoot at the arc. .

In the 21st minute, in a corner, young player Reiss Nelson moved his foot to hit the near corner, but the ball missed the post. The long shot is also a common solution used by Arsenal in the first half when all access to the 16m50 area is blocked by visitors.
Whenever any Arsenal player can hold the ball lurking around the penalty area, 2-3 black balls immediately appear to protect and steal. In the 40th minute, a rare opportunity Arsenal had a chance to finish in the 16m50 area but it was a corner situation. Nicolas Pepe caught the volley with his left foot and after the ball hit back and forth, he jumped to Nketiah’s position. Unfortunately, the 1999-born forward ended up point-blank.

However, in the 42nd minute, the goal suddenly came to the home team. The Dundalk goalkeeper did not handle the corner well, giving Nketiah the opportunity to score and this time also from close range, the forward was “molded” by an Arsenal hand.
Not long after that, the gap doubled. In the attack deployed by the right wing, Nketiah put the ball in the middle for Nicolas Pepe to finish and hit a player of the visitors who jumped into Willock’s position. Very calm, another product of Arsenal’s training furnace bombarded the top of the Dundalk net.

| Willock made it 2-0 |
At the start of the second half, following a forehand pass from Willock, Nicolas Pepe technically swept the ball with his left foot before cutting the top with his right foot in the corner of the letter A on the opponent’s disability.
This is the first goal by Arsnenal’s most expensive player in the 2020/21 Europa League and is the second in all competitions (the first goal was in a 2-1 win over Sheffield in the Premier League).
Dundalk player morale has dropped significantly after repeatedly conceding goals. They no longer fight with enthusiasm, making Arsenal even more advantageous in approaching the goal, but the “Gunners” are only keeping a moderate pace, not rushing.

Although the gap was very safe, Arsenal kept the pressure on Dundalk’s goal for most of the second half and Ireladn’s team almost gave up.
However, it is because they are not so eager to score goals as to avoid unwanted injuries in the dense calendar period, but Arsenal only play at a moderate pace.
So time passes slowly in boredom. Sometimes opportunities also appear, but the level of food is insignificant. Finally the match ended in peace.
In this way, all the goals set by Arsenal for this match are achieved. The teachers and coaches Arteta had just won the second game of the Europa League group stage and regained their spirits after losing to Leicester as well as successfully nurturing all the pillars, including the few who had to play towards the great battle. with MU in the Premier League after a few days.
